Pinerolo, also known as the Children's Book Cottage, aimed to promote Australian picture books and their creators, educate children and adults about picture books, provide a venue for the exhibition of original artwork from picture books, and bring people interested in picture books together in an inspiring environment: they offered exhibitions, school visits, and courses on creating picture books, as well as maintaining a research library.
Pinerolo announced that it would cease its publications and programs in 2022, after founder Margaret Hamilton retired.
